Less than 11 hours is hardly cause to "bump" an issue ... several knowledgeable people who might be able to help will still be asleep ... or at work ... or ...
Many people will get the forum messages in their email anyway, so bumping just adds yet another email to read before deciding to spend any time investigating it.
Meanwhile ... "top of the page" ... what page?
Which version of PGV are you using?
Which version of PunBB?

Sorry, I just noticed a lot of activity earlier today, and saw that the topic had been driven down.
The error appears at the top of:
/module.php?mod=punbb
I'm using phpgedview 4.2
PunBB Stats
PunBB 1.2.17
Environment
Operating system: Linux
PHP: 5.2.5
Accelerator: N/A
Database
MySQL 5.0.51a-12~bpo40+1
Rows: 205732
Size: 25.56 MB
This is a brand new installation. I've re-installed once in an effort to resolve the issue, but I'm dealing with a pretty big gedcom, so getting it imported into MySQL is only successful about 1 out of 6 times I attempt to import. Installing it twice was pretty time consuming.

I only have similar error with 'xenea' theme. The rest work just fine. So I suppose that the error code is somewhere in the xenea template pages.
I have the following errors with this theme, and it only appears in punbb pages:
ERROR 8: Undefined index:
0 Error occurred on line 106 of file header.php in function include

4 called from line 72 of file module.php
Can anybody help to fix this?

I was also using the Xenea theme when I had this problem. I eventually disabled PunBB in both my sites. I upgraded one of the sites and switched to the Belgian Chocolate theme from pgvthemes.com. I no longer got the error, but I assumed it was because of the upgrade. I guess it was because of the theme.

I've never used punBB before either standalone or within PGV. But I've just gone through the config for it using the current PGV SVN version and it worked first time ... without any errors.

No excuses for WINNT (It's actually XP Pro), and just happened to be the one I was typing at.
But it all seemed straightforward and I copied the text box contents as a config.php file at /modules/punbb/ ...
But no error ... hopefully someone else will recognise the errors you're getting.
I've always baulked before at including punBB as I'm not sure whether it's easily upgradable to the latest version (think security fixes).
Also I can sympathise with the importing ... takes me several goes too due to the page saying "done" before it completes ... and no reducing the timeout doesn't help.

But as it's my SVN directory, I expect it'll break next time I sync with SVN :-(

Works fine in other installations I've done, so I'm thinking it may be a host issue.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Running the update script will only do things like update the db schema and pop the version number into the db. It won't change the content of the .php files that have been altered/modified. You need to do both parts of the upgrade. (Same thing goes for phpBB upgrades)

I am now getting the same error on both of my PGV installations. (Hosted by different hosting companies.)
This second install worked fine from Saturday until yesterday.
I'm new to PGV, so both of these installations are only a few days old.
Thanks,

Thanks,

Remove it by removing the /modules/punbb/ folder completely (and for good measure, the punbb.php file from the /modules folder too).
Adding a different pointer is a completely different issue. If its just a link you want, then look in /includes/extras/ and use the "sample_optional_menu.php to suit.
If you also want shared login - you'll need a whole new set of code. Not an easy proposition, particularly of you want to ensure its a 'safe' connection.

Thanks!
I already tried just removing the folder, and that caused all kinds of errors, but I didn't get the punbb.php file.
A pointer will do just fine. I'm no programmer, but I looked at sample_optional_menu.php and it looks like I can handle it. I realize a shared login is way beyond what I am capable of, so I'll just stick with a pointer to a phpBB forum, or maybe just a link to join the mailing list.
Once again, thanks again for all the help.

All mails get delivered to foo@gmail.com, but in different folders. Plus you get to see which company sells your address to spammers.
A lot of sites decide that "+" is not valid in an email address. It is.

You could be right, but my guess is that its blocked by one of my own specific blocks. Because the site allows free registration by anyone it gets dozens of spam type registrations. Most never even confirm their registration, and many others do but then never use the site. I progressively add blocks as they become a nusance to me. So far I block:
*@gmail.com
*.ru
*@gawab.com
*@yahoo*
*forfree*
*forall*
*ooo*
*spam*
This is the first person to report a problem due to this so I feel it's helping more than hindering.
(I should also point out that the registration is with the site's joomla front-end only, not PGV. There is no registration possible or needed for its PGV demos, so I don't even need the joomla-pgv component)

Add to this .ru 'discrimination' the identification of Russian localization of Firefox as 'hackers are not welcome here' in the latest 4.2.1 release of PGV....

I don't disagree with you, but I'm not prepared to spend as much time as I would need tidying up all the spam registrations we have. Much easier to block more, and handle complaints individually. Proven by the fact that yours is the first in three years.
However, if you email me direct, I can bypass the blocks and set up your registration for you.

A major discussion going on at the EIMS site over the last two days, and almost unequivocally, all the server admins have blocked ".cn" and ".ru" and most block brazil as well. We rarely hear of any issue where this is a problem, and I don't ship to Russia, former Yugoslavian states or Indonesia because of a fraud history that far outweighs the potential for profitable sales.
We too block all gmail addresses, but whitelist the google IPs that are legitimate, so valid addresses get through, but the spammers are blocked (those that try to spoof gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc).
Since doing this, we've gone from over 1,000 spam mails to under 100 per day. Of course we block over 20,000 spam attempts each day. Its totally out of hand.

If I can highjack this thread....
I've been making some changes to the PGV code which might affect the integration with PunBB.
I don't have a PunBB installation to test with.
So, if there are any PunBB users who would like to test the latest SVN version of PGV for me, I would be very grateful.
How to download templates from the pgvthemes.com? I do not see any links for downloads. Can be done without logging in? Also, I can not register there - I get error 'this email can not be registered', I tried to enter several different emails in different browsers with same result

Well, I've used the punBB pages hdiff from 1.2.17 to 1.2.20 and the hdiff from 1.2.20 to 1.2.21 to get from 1.2.17 to 1.2.21 without breaking the PGV integration (and still don't get errors).
But as it's my SVN directory, I expect it'll break next time I sync with SVN :-(
Mark
Works fine in other installations I've done, so I'm thinking it may be a host issue.
Mark
I simply ran their PHP script for updating from 1.2x to 1.2.21. Works fine.
Stephen
Running the update script will only do things like update the db schema and pop the version number into the db. It won't change the content of the .php files that have been altered/modified. You need to do both parts of the upgrade. (Same thing goes for phpBB upgrades)
However, just overwriting existing files with their updated counterparts doesn't work, as there are PGV mod's to the PGV distributed files. So the easiest way I found was to use the hdiff pages
http://punbb.informer.com/download/hdiff/hdiff-1.2.17_to_1.2.20.html
and
http://punbb.informer.com/download/hdiff/hdiff-1.2.20_to_1.2.21.html
and modify the files by hand, and then run the updater script.
The alternative that I didn't explore was to use the patch files in
http://punbb.informer.com/download/patch/
namely
http://punbb.informer.com/download/patch/punbb-1.2.17_to_1.2.20.patch
and
http://punbb.informer.com/download/patch/punbb-1.2.20_to_1.2.21.patch
as I couldn't easily do that on XP (should have used the Mac I guess).
After patching the file content, you still need to run the updater script.
